See the recent news about Canada strengthening economic ties with China and welcoming them into their auto market. This wouldn’t have happened in a million years had it not been for US tariffs and hostilities towards Canada. America is truly uniting the world (against them).

Whitelands or Anglosphere will always be cooperating and coordinating because blood is thicker than water. So all these developments of Canada moving closer to China are superficial. When push comes to shove, the real affinities or allegiances will be revealed, ie the anglosphere will stick together.

So you think that the Canadians or the Danish love you for your skin color(?) but you don't do the same, and just threaten them and take their lands? This doesn't make any sense.

Which particular tech are you thinking of?

Google search, all social media, every LLM, etc

Search will be a problem for a while, but that's solvable.

You really think the absence of social media would be a negative?

Don't think much of Europe is dependent on LLMs, yet.

Have that option set. It's not marked flagged, or dead. See, the weird thing is how quite many people found their way here after it got delisted.

So it’s not actually gone? Again, instead of speculating, send an email if something is unclear. Yes, moderation is purposefully selective, but not based on political agenda. Dang has repeatedly explained moderation policy in the past. This blog post has some information: https://drewdevault.com/2017/09/13/Analyzing-HN.html

> So it’s not actually gone?

It is? Dude, just check yourself, instead of sealioning?!

It's in /active, not frontpage or 15 pages in as stated above. It's not marked anything, which would also show next to the title of the post itself. So what's your fucking offense? If all of this is of no concern to you, why bother commenting? Yeah, thanks for pointing out I can write mails somewhere. I should also write my representative and call the embassy. And sorry, I haven't read every thread ever to know what Dang said at some point in the past. Well, what did he say about opaque visibility manipulation? How about leaving a message in respective threads?

I was just pointing out there is intransparent, weird censorship for this post. I don't care as much about the alleged reasons. People should be aware this is a covertly distorted discussion.

Even being the slimeballs they are, they all each knew how bad Trump was for their party and for our country. Yet one by one they kissed the ring and now we're expected to lick the boot.

Yet the American people seemed to back Trump. Whenever someone stood up against him like say Rubio the polls would go like 80% Trump 20% Rubio. That's a bit I find puzzling as a non American. Why not choose someone basically decent like Rubio, rather than the Donald?

So nonfunctional tech, tech that hurts everyone who uses it, and nonfunctional tech that hurts everyone who uses it? That's what they'll be missing out on?

Yeah, I'll take pharmaceutical drugs, medical instruments and machines over this overrated garbage every day.

Social Media is a net negative for society, it being gone would save a lot on healthcare spending and productivity would shoot up

For LLMs there is also good enough available from Chinese and European Companies. But also here the value is questionable

Search is already being worked on with Ecosia and Qwant having created their own European search solution

Fox News happened.

Maybe. I feel like I watched live on 4chan as Trump was presented as a joke and then true believers started posting as well. Maybe 4chan was documenting the phenomenon but it always felt like it willed it into existence like it did q-anon.

It's not "maybe". As someone who born in Hungary, and have been experiencing our lovely full blown fascist propaganda longer than it became mainstream in the US, Fox News is definitely worse than our main propaganda channel. I was "lucky" to watch it in February, when I was there, and it's pure hate. I cannot imagine that anybody who don't switch channels quite quickly is not an asshole at this point. You cannot bear that shit if you are not a dickhead.

I understand that it was slowly normalized, and people don't realize this. But right now on an absolute scale, you have to be pure assholes. Similar thing happened in Hungary, but our government never went to this low as Fox News does.

Also looking at right wing pundits' Twitter, there are usually two types of tweets: non-whites making some illegal activities, or stupid; and whites are suppressed. It was funny when Charlie Kirk died and his Twitter account until that point for at least a month contained only, and seriously only these kind of tweets, and it was a question whether he was racist, or not... After his death, Musk definitely pushed the normalization, because my right wing account over there started to be really crazy with these kind of tweets.
